George,
We've been thinking of you as the economy collapses around us.

Mariam said to email you and thank you for being so helpful and truthful with us. Thank you for being generous and frank with us, explaining to us the advantages and especially disadvantages of buying the Mueller house. We are so glad to be in the situation where we are now.

Mariam says she thinks you are an angel - sent by James Otis - to rescue us from financial disaster.

Warmly,
Les and Mariam

"You did a really exceptional job with us when we were there. Thank-you for your energy, your generosity, listening well to our needs, being respectful and creative. Leah felt great about you also which made all the difference!" Christine

Christine and Leah Barber
Our good friend, Joe Reese, encouraged us to work with George McGee & the Austin Silent Market Group in our next Austin home search. We are so grateful we did. The whole team at the ASM Group could not have been more accommodating. And since Cissy, Clift, Christy and Johnny were familiar with our search criteria (with someone always "on call") we never felt like we were putting anyone out. if we wanted to check out a home on a moment's notice, the response was impressive.

After looking at many homes, we were able to find the ideal home in close-in Westlake. Ahome with just enough work needed to give us the feeling we can create some equity, whcih is an ability both Colin and I share and to which we look forward. Handling both sides of the transaction, George and the team made the whole process run more smoothly. They all listened patiently, never pressuring us to make a decision.

If you are interested in consulting versus salesmanship, full service versus penny pinching on fees, having a true consultant with thirty years of experience and someone who will see that your best interests are protected and proactively pursued, work with George McGee and the Austin Silent Market Group.

Erin & Colin Cook
You should be pleased with the excellent level of service we have received, especially from Clift. Once we got to the point where his part kicked in, it ran like clockwork, we knew exactly what where and when it was all happening thanks to Clift. He understood that email was a good venue for communication with us and we appreciated that.

We made the first call to you, and everything was handled from that point forward, we knew that you were setting up appraisals, surveys, etc and with our busy work schedules this was a big help, to know that we did not have to be involved in the minute details prior to closing. We are very e-mail centric when it comes to communication and Joel kept us up to date on the progress of our loan via e-mails and attachments.

John Bettencourt & Debra Larsen
George,
Thanks for finding this cool townhome, at the last minute, before I moved forward on the one down by the hospital. Having worked with you back in 1996, I knew you might be able to help me get a good value. having the inside with the owners really sweetened the whole thing. Kind of funny that this townhome would be down the street from Chip and Debbie Harrington who introduced us to you and your firm over ten years ago. Cissy Stasio and Christy Hayes did a great job making sure I got to see enough other options before making a decision. And Clift, as usual wea on top of the details in a way that I don't think is your strong point. The team works well and I appreciate the group help. Gotta go now because Chip is walking with that yapper, Lucky Dog, and I need to go get my BB gun.

Bennie Fore
George,

I just wanted to share our gratitude for your help in negotioating the purchase of our new home on Elton. We appreciate the way you presented strategies more as a consultant than a sales agent - your approach gained our confidence early in the process. You made several suggestions that secured our winning bid in a multiple offer situations, and the consistent communication with Clift Bowman,Cissy Stasio, and Christy Hayes made the details easy. Thanks again for the professionalism that ASM Group provided. Leah and I will be pleased to refer family and friends that wish to benefit from your experience the same way.

George could sell the horns off a billy goat!

George could sell the horns off a billy goat. We met George years ago at an Open House and were intrigued by his "selling style". Plus, he did a great job selling out previous home in 4 days!!!

Kimberly and Chris Roberson

Thanks George!

This was a great experience. I hope to have you guys sell one more house before I leave Texas!

Steve McCool
I like working with your team. Honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, and good sense of humor.

Rene LaFair

I Love You Guys

I felt like everyone at Austin Silent Market was honest and upfront and that they are really good people.

Kim Upshaw
I just have to tell you, I am so impressed by the Austin Silent Market Group, and especially Paul Keith. Paul is the nicest, most patient, organized professional that I have met in the Real Estate industry, or even in sales, for that matter.
I definitely felt like Paul wasn't trying to push anything on us or lead us in a certain direction. Paul reall, really listened well, wanting to know what we wanted.

Staci Overstreet
George and his team really helped me locate what I was looking for. They listened to my needs and helped me uncover a gem. I did not have a lot of time moving from Nevada and they really helped keep the hunting focused and efficient. I felt like I was working with family. It was very easy to work with them and they really helped me dig into what I was looking for not just listing what was out there.


Cason Vaughan

Why David chose the Austin Silent Market group to sell his house...

"I told them (other agents) I was talking with multiple people and that I was going to make decisions when I felt it was right. I got to the point I could be natural around them. One of the planners told me his minimums and I told him, 'I need one of you guys to get to the point where I can have one of you guys.'

Two real Estate people told me to fix up the house, that I couldn't get its worth as is. The other two said they could sell it and would worry about getting a return on that investment if I did fix it up. I went with George McGee, one of the 'as is' people.

I went with him for a number of reasons.
· He is not a one-man show. If he is pulled away I am not idling.
· He runs his own business, he is not working for another firm, he makes his own rules.
· He sold Encyclopedia's door to door in Kentucky one summer with my brother Pat. That doesn't mean it was the best person for the job but it does mean he knows how to work hard and is good at what he does.
· Last, I liked the way he treated me. After He had seen the house and outlined my options and was ready for me to make a choice. I told him my choice was he needed to leave me alone for a couple of weeks or couple of months while I made enough progress on the house to be ready to make this choice. He did too"


David Bourland
George and company make it fun and "if it ain't fun it ain't worth doing!", you can quote me on that.

Kathryn Edwards

Over the years ...

George has done a terrific job for Cary and I over the years. I trust his judgement. George Vance (who I always call George Jr) is handsome, friendly, and will be on his way to becoming a Real Estate mogul, too, I suppose.

Kathy Peele

George got us above asking price.

The best part of our real estate experience was working with such great folks (and getting more than the asking price for our own home was certainly a nice "perk"!

Howard and Maxine Knippa

Love George

Love George. George was patient and persistent, just the right combo.I wanted to work with George because of his personality, availabiliy, honesty and the fact he put up with my friends.

Betsy Howie
If you want the job done. Geo means business and business is business. I loved George's great ability to sell and his quickly and timely responses to any question I threw at him. Everyone I know gets his newsletter.

Sybil Haydon
I was convinced to work with George because of his vast background, charming personality, and his willingness to shoot strait when push comes to shove. There is no doubt that George truly understands, deeply groks, even the intracacies and idiocies of the real estate business and his approach is creative and novel...outrageous, even at times.. but not out of line. You're great George, and it was truly a memorable experience! I wish you all the best in all you do!

Sherry Gingras
I really like George's easy going character. He came recommended highly by collegues. George was really interested in finding me a home, not in making a quick sale. I felt like he was a friend in the process of searching, honest and helpful. I had a great time driving around in his Miata. He negotiated the home, we signed the paperwork, and celebrated the same evening.

Sandy Garcia
I was always impressed with George's drive, enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and positive attitude!

Rebecca Games

George is a nut, but a likeable nut.

I wanted to work with George because of his knowledge of Austin's market and believed he had my best interests in mind when he made recommendations.Also, he helped me get the price I wanted for my house.

Robin Dunston
Working with you all was the best real estate experience I've ever had. Your prompt attention to detail was impressive and you're quite the "closer". Plus we trusted you, that's a big thing. We're very technology oriented and the immediacy of e-mail communication made this experience a pleasure. We really felt you were working for us, and we liked the shorts George wore.

Barbara Matijevich
George does not fit the real estate agent mold- you know what that is. John and I were glad to have someone experienced and honest. I enjoyed hearing the real truth about our house and how it fits in the market. Simply-George makes it happen!

John and Keri Ann Chambless
What stands out the most to me about George is his goofy smile, happy demeanor, and knowledge of the industry he works in.

F. C. Bashaw
I respected George's "take-charge" approach combined with a willingness to adjust to the clients needs and desires. I was very lucky to have had him for my realtor. He gets the job done.

Mary Baker
How your team works is so efficient. Everyone's expertise in their individual job made buying a house enjoyable and easy. We hardly felt any of the normal stress that usually is associated with buying a house. We will absolutely recommend our friends, family, and associates to ya'll in the future.

Shelley and Joseph Moore
George is extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market, very honest, fun to work with, and has a very positive attitude and outlook on the "househunting" process and life in general. Our experience with George was terrific. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Chris Schmeil
I enjoyed working with George becasue he was not too pushy like other realtors. George helped us price our house to sell and it did! Almost too quickly.

Tom and Allison Benz
I truly enjoyed the no-pressure attitude and that I feel that we got as much attention as someone buying a more expensive residence. Rather than preussuring us to close, your team were very reassuring that we would find a property that we loved 100% and you were right!
Someone was always available to show houses to us, even on the weekends and evenings. Both George and Clift had great, positive attitudes.

Carolyn Counce
"Wow! From listing to closing in 24 days! It's been a very stressful time for us, what with the cross-country move, waiting for Scott's new job to start, and getting used to a new city and home, and you guys have been awesome! When it came time to sell our home, Scott & I thought it would be in our best interest to work with a discount agent in order to save a little on the commission. But after several weeks with limited activity and nothing being done to market our home effectively - as far as we could see- we realized this was not in our best interest.

Within hours of choosing to work with the ASM Group, both Scott and I felt like a huge weight had been taken off our shoulders. I had read SO many testimonials, and was fortunate enough to have realized first-hand why so many people rave about this team. They put up with my stress, my concerns, and my paniky emails, and managed to do so with a smile (at least I think there were smiles - it's hard to tell for sure from 2,000 miles away!)We learned the hard way that when in comes to one of the biggest investments in our life, it doesn't make sense to pinch pennies. As the ASM Group suggests, decide on an amount you'll be happy walking away with and then let the professionals do their job. So, after all was said and done, the ASM team took care of us and the sale of our home. We felt from the first day that we put this jpb in the hands of the right people, and with 3 offers in five days, we weren't wrong. For us, the phrase "you get what you pay for" never had more meaning. If you know someone moving our of Austin, do them a favor and put them in touch with the Austin Silent Market Group! From all of us here in Massachusetts, the Wallace family thanks you with all our heart!"

Tamar & Scott Wallace

Thrilled!

"Everyone I have ever sent to George and the team have been thrilled with the service they have received". Vickie

Bruce Kennady & Vickie Dunlevy

Unquestioned integrity!

"I never questioned whether the Austin Silent Market Group had my best interests at heart throughout my purchase of my Westlake home."

David Yatim

Our friends have been happy with George.

"We have referred several friends to George and everyone has been very pleased."

Matt & Currie Bucher

"What! George McGee!"

"I referred my little sister, Angie, to George and the Austin Silent Market Group. And they were able to get her equity out in her ideal time frame through effective pricing. George really knows the ins and outs of residential Real Estate, especially in West Austin and the Westlake areas. Often before those homes come on the active market."

Diana Zuniga

Priced right, and sold in four days!

"We appreciate Jim & Denise Girardeau for referring your team. Patient with our on our purchase in Pemberton and straightforward on pricing our Hemphill Park home, which sold in four days, helped us to make it all happen so much more smoothly. Thanks."

Bill & Jenny Johnson

George listened like no others had.

“My experience has been completely positive. George was so upbeat, high-energy, and entertaining; A delight to work with. George has flexibility and a different approach than other Realtors. George listened to us, understood what we needed and pulled off a coup, making it fun and exciting all the while. What stands out most is getting at least 3 offers for more than our asking price. Also, I love the newsletter!”



Gary & Jane Manford

Trustworthy

"George is trustworthy."

Janelle Thompson

Where other Realtors failed, Goerge came through ...

"George, I had several other Realtors try to sell my home on Hartford, but it was your team and pricing suggestions that made it happen in less than a month. Thanks!"

Kevin Daly

We enjoyed the process!

"The closing went incredibly smoothly...it actually bordered on enjoyable (especially the part where we opened the house for the first time after getting the keys) We're very excited about our new place!"

Deepak Pillai & Padmam Sriram

George earned my business.

"I trust George & felt as if I "knew" him through receiving his newsletter. I liked that he asked for, went after and earned my business. I have recommended and will continue to recommend George!"

Angie Zuniga

George's patience helped us find the perfect home.

George is fun loving, easy going, patient, and has a great personality. Thank you all for your help and patience on our three year house hunting! We have now found the perfect home and feel very blessed.


Denise & Chad Huston

Pricing suggestions helped us get back to Austin!

"George has never, in several transactions, steered Anitra and I wrong.
I highly recommend the Austin Silent Market Group. George's
pricing suggestions helped us sell our Portland area home and get back
to Texas in our ideal time frame."






Joel & Anitra Richardson

Count me as a loyal client!

"Words are inadequate to express my appreciation for you all's patience and graciousness. No wonder you have such loyal clientele!"


Alice Whitley

Top Dollar!

John and I really appreciated George's advice, throughout the transaction, that allowed us to get top dollar for our home in Lost Creek, recently. And kudos for the seamless service which we enjoyed.


Jean Kelso & John St. Lawrence
Every time anyone even suggest needing the services of an agent or broker, both Carolyn and I fall over ourselves to refer them to you. We can't recommend you enough. We were first time buyers, and you and Clift were so patient with us. After showing us umpteen houses and even making and breaking numerous contracts, you both remained genuinely cheery and helpful. Buying a home is an emotional time, and your lack of pressure was the difference between us buying something we would regret, and buying our perfect little dream house. Thanks for the great service.

Bryan Brah
“Katie and I were really disappointed when the offer we made on the first house didn’t go through. It seemed perfect, great location, large lot, well maintained. The second place was a little small, but it had possibilities. The owner, however, had priced himself out of the market at $174/sqft. That house is still on the market, by the way. The third house had a great lot and location, but was beset with problems which showed up in the inspection. At this point we were beginning to think we were not going to find a place in the Allandale neighborhood we wanted. Fourth time was the charm, however. We found a house in Allandale in walking distance to Northwest Park with more square footage and a bigger lot that the first house, for less money. Thanks to you guys, we were able to put in an offer accepted before the house even went on the market. We close this month and both feel that, in the end, we are getting the best of four. Thanks for all of your help.”

Ken and Katie Watkins
“George, after giving you my ideal scenario, you were able to find just what I wanted. We looked at a few homes that were on the market and a few you knew about that were not, but when you called with this one, I knew I had better move quickly. Sure enough, another agent brought an offer for more than I worked out with your clients, the sellers. You work with folks who are willing to price their homes competitively and that makes all the difference. I will gladly refer you to friends of mine looking in West Austin. You know your stuff down there and everybody knows it.
